Another sturdy old Scotsman and pioneer of Rock Springs has passed away in the person of John Freeman, who died at the residence of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Mike Freeman, on Tuesday morning. Although Mr. Freeman had been In bad health for some time he was always able to be about and his death came as a shock to his friends. The cause of death was stomach trouble. Mr. Freeman was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, 56 years ago. He emigrated to this country while quite a young man and after spending two years in the east he came to Rock Springs where he has made his home for thirty years.
For several years he worked in the mines but was ultimately appointed sheep inspector for this county and afterward became foreman on the Bates ranch.
He is survived by a wife and three children; Annie, Helen and David, all of whom reside in Salt Lake City. A brother and two sisters also reside in this country— Bryce Freeman of Superior; Mrs. Corrigan, of Park
City, and Mrs. David Muir of Muskogee, Oklahoma.
John was a thorough Scott, cheery, honest, open-hearted, free-handed, always ready to help anyone less fortunate than himself. He was greatly respected by all with whom he came in contact and a large circle of friends will mourn his loss. The funeral services will be held at the home of Mrs. Mike Freeman,
on J street, at two o'clock on Sunday afternoon.
